Llir 5713 Popular Post Share Posted December 10, 2020 Tech Update - Triage Team Many of you may have seen my recent posting looking for applicants for the Triage Team. I am happy to announce that the team is now assembled, @MCVDK and @Deer__ have been full trained and are happy to help you with any bug reports or issues you encounter in-game. Note that they are unable to help with any refunds, password/auth issues, or issues with the forums or Crowns at this time. They also will not be working on any code, plugins, or node setup. However, they will be the first to look at any /treqs that come in, and will be helping keep an eye on issues or suggestions that pop up through Discord. Many thanks to them for helping out! Map and Lighting Issues Thanks to our maintenance tonight, all issues including rendering maps, raining indoors, and (most) lighting issues should be resolved. If you encounter a lighting issue (absence of light or strange lighting in an area) in the next week, please make a /treq. Now, onto the patch notes. Note that a few of these things were done through hotfixes earlier this week, but have been documented here for info. Vortex 0.2.1 Patch Notes Legend[+] Addition[~] Change/bugfix[-] Removal[#] Work in progress[!] Note Added Bears[+] Bear nodes are located at30 different locations across the map. Bears prefer mountainous areas, and seem to have an affinity for yellow alum. Bears nodes spawn one group per successful spawn attempt, with 1-3 bears in a group.[+] For tiles with the ranching improvement, two groups are spawned instead of one.[+] Bears have a 100% drop chance for Bear Hide and Bear Steaks.[+] Bears are passive until attacked, but hit hard and have plenty of health! Avoid going at them alone, and be careful around any cubs if the momma bear is around![+] Bears have a chance to deal Bleed Damage. This is reduced with certain armors [!] This will allow players to make the necessary crafts to progress to Ferrum tier blacksmithing (LOTC equivalent to iron). [#] Another mob should be added over the weekend. Item Editing [+] Editing of Vortex items is now possible. If you find any odd behavior with this, please report it on our issue tracker. Nuggets and Blocks [+] Gold and iron nuggets and blocks can now be crafted from Ferrum and Aurum. Note, that like coal blocks, this is an irreversible craft. Nodes [+] Black dye nodes have been added to the Garden of Idols. Tweaks to the Textile Bench[-] The hunting and farming clothes have been removed until these mechanics can be fully implemented. Blacksmithing[~] A few metals have been renamed to better fit roleplay and lore. Archery[~] A dupe-glitch with arrows was fixed. Ranching[~] An exploit to obtain unlimited fleece was fixed. Make sure to join the Tech Discord to get involved in discussions, and submit bugs on the issue tracker. Cheers, The Tech Team 34 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using better weapons will also get better drop rates. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
